In this Dhamma talk given on the Wan Phra Lunar Observance night, Ajahn Pasanno connects the precepts and refuges to two qualities which are crucial in supporting mindfulness and bringing us in the direction of inner peace: the purification of virtue and straightening of views. In speaking on these qualities, Luang Por encourages us to apply our discernment, clarify our aspirations, and take responsibility for ourselves and our actions so we can establish awareness and realize peace. He also touches on the connections between these qualities and the Four Brahmaviharas of Loving-kindness, Compassion, Appreciative Joy, and Equanimity. This talk was offered on February 4, 2017 at Abhayagiri Buddhist monastery.
